Carestream CS9300 Cone Beam Scanner 3D Imaging


3D imaging provides better quality and more detailed images than traditional x-rays and allows for more accuracy and detail during evaluation and treatment planning. This new technology is also less invasive and emits less radiation than traditional x-ray machines, with the ability to take images with significantly lower radiation than traditional panoramic xrays.


3D Digital Impressions


The digital intraoral scanner provides a comfortable, and precise way for our office to take digital impressions of patients’ teeth. Taking accurate impressions of a patient’s teeth is a highly important part of a large number of dental and orthodontic procedures.


Digital X-Ray


Digital x-rays reduce the amount of radiation needed as compared to film x-rays.  The improved diagnostic capability of digital x-rays and the ability to view the x-rays on a computer screen allow the patient to better understand and follow treatment.  Digital x-rays are instant, there is no longer a need to develop the film.  Digital x-rays save time and increase patient care.  It’s also a very green technology.  By eliminating film, developer and chemical waste it is better for you and the environment!


Soft Tissue Lasers


Soft tissue lasers are used for periodontal (gum) surgeries. Our Piezo Diode laser is more efficient, causes less discomfort, promotes a faster healing time, and has a decreased risk of infection, providing a better outcome.


CO2 Lasers


Our versatile CO2 laser gives us the ability to treat both superficial and deep skin, layers simultaneously. Fractional CO2 laser facial resurfacing can completely and painlessly rejuvenate deep and superficial skin cells. 


Sublative RF Applicator


Used to treat acne scarring, the Sublative RF applicator by Syneron Candela is designed to deliver radiofrequency energy to the skin in a fractional manner, via an array of multi-electrode pins. The array delivers bi-polar RF energy to the skin.


Electronic Medical Records (EMR)


Using Electronic Medical Records our practice is able to quickly and accurately access patient information in order to provide the utmost in patient care.  This helps to ensure patient confidentiality as well as reduce the need for paper.  Using a digital format allows for quick access to your information when needed for insurance records yet provides a secure filing system.


Digital Intraoral Cameras


An intra-oral camera combines the latest video technologies with dental care. Both the patient and dentist can see detailed images of the teeth and mouth in real time.  With an intraoral camera, you are able to better understand what is happening in your mouth and review the status of your oral health.


Oral Cancer Screening


Oral cancer affects thousands of Americans yearly. We use the latest technology to detect changes in oral tissue consistencies and/or lesions. A specialized light is shined into the mouth to detect unhealthy tissue. Healthy tissue looks lighter under the light while spots of bad tissue appear dark. With early detection, cancer may be caught before it has time to spread, potentially saving lives.


Ultra Quiet Electric Handpieces


These handpieces provide less vibration and noise than traditional dental drills. Not only are they quieter, but also more efficient in tooth preparation making dental procedures shorter and more manageable.


Piezo Electric Handpieces


Are used for periodontal (gum) and osseous (bone) surgery. These handpieces are gently and meticulously used to remove harmful bacteria without requiring invasive measures.


Digital Flat Screen Monitors


These monitors are found next to every patient chair. Patients can watch a movie or TV show. Patients can also view their dental radiographs when speaking to the doctor about the findings for a better understanding of their oral health.


Wi-Fi


Our office offers free Wi-Fi for our patients use while visiting our office.


Comfort Items


For our patients’ comfort, we provide neck pillows that can be warmed, eye masks for relaxation, and hot face towels after appointments.
